   @basyl
   To be fair people have it just never gains traction eg Professor Kevin Anderson has pointed this out since I first heard a lecture of his in 2012.

   No ones telling entitled developed world folk they can't drive #ecars and fly all over the world nor cool/heat the entire paper thin McMansion with ducted HVAC/nor the verybrich fly thier private jets and fill their personal yachs with $1/4 mil of diesel.

   It's often pointed out we could have a 32% emissions cut in about 2 weeks if we got rich people to live like the average European. Not enough but it gives us some breathing space.
